Six Cartoon Network Games Disappear from Digital Marketplaces

Warner Bros. Discovery's sudden removal of several Cartoon Network and Adult Swim games from digital storefronts has sparked significant player backlash. Titles like Steven Universe: Save the Light, Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time, and Adventure Time: Finn and Jake's Epic Quest (originally released in 2014) are among at least six games no longer available for purchase. The publisher offered little explanation for the delistings.

This action is linked to Warner Bros. Discovery's broader cost-cutting measures, mirroring previous decisions to shelve films and remove content from streaming services. A similar delisting event occurred in March 2024, affecting Adult Swim games, although public pressure prevented the complete removal of some titles. This time, however, several popular Cartoon Network games have been permanently removed without prior notice.

The delistings, noted by Wario64 on Twitter, impacted various platforms including Steam and the Nintendo eShop on December 23rd, 2024. Affected games included Adventure Time: Magic Man's Head Games, OK K.O.! Let's Play Heroes, and Steven Universe: Unleash the Light, in addition to those previously mentioned. Steam listings for these games simply stated they would no longer be available for sale after December 23rd, 2024.

While some titles, such as Cartoon Network Journeys VR and Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake, remain available, the removal of others, particularly Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time (which contained canonical content), has generated considerable fan frustration. The lack of explanation from Warner Bros. Discovery, Cartoon Network Games, and Adult Swim Games has further fueled this discontent. The situation highlights the ongoing challenges faced by the gaming industry and the potential impact of corporate restructuring on player access to beloved titles. The removal also coincides with rumors that Warner Bros. may be considering selling its video game assets.
